The Dark Urge: Difference between revisions

During the story, and your interactions with Sceleritas Fel, whether you indulge in your urges or not, you slowly learn more of your past, and why you feel the need to kill others.

During '''Act 2''', should the Dark Urge kill [[Isobel]] at the [[Last Light Inn]], they are granted the [[Slayer]] form, revealing their heritage as a [[Bhaalspawn]] to those familiar with the previous Baldur's Gate games, which was an ability that [[Bhaalspawn]] could acquire within those previous games. Should the player forego killing [[Isobel]], after making their way to Baldur's Gate in '''Act 3''', arriving at [[Wyrm's Crossing]], it is revealed you were not only a [[Bhaalspawn]], but the leader for the Cult of [[Bhaal]]. Further conversation with [[Gortash]] reveals you were one of the original members of the Chosen of the Dead Three, and alongside Gortash, had originally schemed to use the [[Crown of Karsus]] on the Elder Brain to falsify the religion of the [[Absolute]]. In this sense, the Dark Urge is very well the catalyst for the main story's events.

==History==

====Childhood====

Unlike other Bhaalspawn, The Dark Urge wasn't born, but instead created from the dead flesh of Bhaal himself<ref>The Dark Urge can tell [[Naaber]] that they have no birthdate due to the nature of their creation.</ref><ref>Dialogue with [[Sceleritas Fel]], after becoming Bhaal's Chosen.</ref>.

   

===Uncovering the Dark Urge's Past===

* Eating the [[Noblestalk]] mushroom as Dark Urge will unlock one of two memories:

** If eaten before meeting [[Sceleritas Fel]]. they remember acts of cannibalism.

==Indulging the Urge==

There are many instances of cruelty and violence the Dark Urge can commit;

==== Act 1 ====

* Tearing off [[Gale]]'s arm when first meeting him. This prevents you from recruiting him.  

*The final origin character was revealed through [https://bloodinbaldursgate.larian.com/ Blood in Baldur's Gate ARG]. The players controlled a detective investigating a chain of murders. On the final day of the ARG The Dark Urge along with Sceleritas Fel were revealed in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuAg2f4MZG8 final video] where the white-scaled dragonborn kills the detective.

*Due to similarities the Dark Urge shares with previous Baldur's Gate protagonists, it is theorized that they are the canon protagonist of [[Baldur's Gate 3]]. This has not been confirmed or denied as of the time of writing.

* In a campaign where the Dark Urge isn't chosen as an Origin Character, the player can find the corpse of an NPC with the defaults appearance of the Dark Urge Origin, simply called 'Fallen Bhaalspawn', tortured and murdered by [[Orin]].}}
